Infection with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is one of the most pressing issues facing public health on a worldwide scale. Currently, HIV-related lymphoma is the most common cause of death among people living with HIV, and warrants more attention. The unique challenges associated with HIV-related lymphoma management derive from the underlying HIV infection and its immunosuppressive effects. F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) has gained significant prominence in the past few years as a valuable diagnostic and therapeutic instrument for the treatment of HIV-related lymphoma. This review will start with an overview of the subtypes, risk factors, and therapeutic choices for individuals with HIV-related lymphoma. We will then briefly discuss the current application of F-FDG PET/CT in the medical management of HIV-related lymphoma patients, followed by the initial staging of the disease, the evaluation of therapeutic response, the prediction of prognostic outcomes, the decision-making process for radiotherapy guided by PET findings, and the distinguishing of various diagnoses.
感染人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)是全球公共卫生面临的最紧迫问题之一。目前,与HIV相关的淋巴瘤是HIV感染者中最常见的死亡原因,值得更多关注。与HIV相关淋巴瘤管理相关的独特挑战源于潜在的HIV感染及其免疫抑制作用。在过去几年中,氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(F-FDG PET/CT)作为治疗HIV相关淋巴瘤的一种有价值的诊断和治疗手段已变得非常突出。本综述将首先概述HIV相关淋巴瘤患者的亚型、危险因素和治疗选择。然后,我们将简要讨论F-FDG PET/CT在HIV相关淋巴瘤患者医疗管理中的当前应用,接着是疾病的初始分期、治疗反应评估、预后结果预测、PET检查结果指导下的放射治疗决策过程以及各种诊断的鉴别。
